The current volume, being the second of two dedicated to 'Tolkien
and Modernity', grew out of the wish to further the exploration of
Tolkien as a 'contemporary writer', i.e. an author whose literary
creations can be seen as a response to the challenges of the modern
world. It comprises papers that focus on four broad themes: love,
time, heroism, and style. Although one could argue that these
topics have been present since the beginning of literature, though
sometimes temporarily submerged, it is with the cataclysm of World
War I and the entry of Einstein's Theory of Relativity into the
public consciousness - two events that shook the very foundations
of pre-modern society - that they gained a new and immediate
relevance.
